New York Times Tech Workers Go on Strike on Eve of 2024 Election, Alleging Unfair Labor Practices

The Times Tech Guild represents more than 600 engineers, data managers, designers, software developers and tech personnel who develop and run the systems that power the paper’s website and apps. If the strike continues into Tuesday, it will be the first to coincide with a presidential election in the NewsGuild since the 1964 Detroit newspaper strike, according to the union.

The Tech Guild is asking Times readers “to honor the digital picket line and not play popular NYT Games such as Wordle and Connections as well as not use the NYT Cooking app.”
